To book your car, all you need is a credit or debit card. When you pick the car up, you'll need:

• Your voucher / eVoucher, to show that you've paid for the car.
• The main driver's credit / debit card, with enough available funds for the car's deposit.
• Each driver's full, valid driving licence, which they've held for at least 12 months (often 24).
• Your passport and any other ID the car hire company needs to see.

For most car hire companies, the age requirement is between 21 and 70 years old. If you're under 25 or over 70, you might have to pay an additional fee.

Yes, as long as they meet these requirements. Just fill in their details while you're making the reservation.

Space: You'll enjoy your rental far more if you choose a car with plenty of room for your passengers and luggage.

Fuel policy: Not planning on driving much? A Like for like fuel policy can save you a lot of money.

Location: You can't beat an 'on-airport' pick-up for convenience, but an 'off-airport' pick-up with a shuttle bus can be much cheaper.

The vast majority of our rentals include Theft Protection, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), local taxes, airport surcharges and any road fees. You'll pay for any ‘extras' when you pick your car up, along with any young driver, additional driver or one-way fees – but we'll explain any additional costs before you book your car (and taking your own child seats or GPS can be an easy way to reduce your costs). For more details on what's included, just check the Terms and Conditions of any car you're looking at.

If your trip to Adelaide is all sorted out but your itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a helping hand. Take in the best that this place has to offer by adding Adelaide Festival Centre and Government House to your schedule. If you’ve got an extra day or two to spare, swing by Rundle Mall and Adelaide Oval too. Stop by Adelaide Zoo. It’s one sight you’ll usually find on many travelers’ to-do lists. Adelaide Casino and Hindmarsh Stadium are also a stone’s throw away and worth a detour.

The joy of having your own ride is that you can go where you want, when you want. Make full use of your freedom by discovering all there is to do in Strathalbyn. It’s just 30 miles away. Explore the area beginning with Longview Vineyard, St Andrew’s Uniting Church and Station Masters Gallery. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Lyndoch, 30 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Jacob’s Creek Vineyards. (But we’re also huge fans of Rockford Wines and Chateau Yaldara.)

No matter the weather forecast, you’ll be able to see the lovely beaches near Adelaide from the comfort of your own rental car. As you travel along, keep your eyes peeled for seagulls flying over these dazzling stretches of coastline: • West Beach • Henley Beach • Grange Beach and many many more.
